Love that soft lavender wild Monarda look, hate the late summer powdery mildew that often mars the foliage? Join Team Bradbury for a compact version of the prairie stalwart with glossy foliage that resists the evil mildew! Urban prairie enthusiasts will appreciate the lack of takeover genetics, its preference for average soils, and tolerance for light shade. That amazing bee balm scent keeps the deer away and invites the local pollinators to come hither.
